another day of adventures

today we had our first real class.

it lasted the full 2 hours. blah.

then we hopped on the tube and rode over to St. Paul's stop.

we had lunch at an AMAZING cafe and sat outside in the little plaza where the stock exchange is located.

there were so many people dressed in suits and all proper and then we come in looking like total americans in our jeans and polos trying to figure out exactly how to order.

it was a very classy place and is one of my fav spots in london so far.

then we went to the Museum of London. which was a total bore and a waste of my time.

it was less than half a floor full of exhibits and lame ones at that.

i see now why museums are free.... 

just kidding. kind of.

then we walked around a bit before wandering across the millennium bridge (beautiful views of the London bridge) and we ran into the Tate museum of Modern Art. 

before going in- we decided to stop at a pub on the Thames River and took a break for Pimm's and Lemonade which comes with cut up lemons, limes, oranges and oddly - cucumber. it was a great break with awesome views. 

then we went into the Tate which was free as well-- and that was actually pretty cool. Ally has this thing where she puts on her ipod and walks around the museum- so i tried that and it was actually very cool- completely different experience.

then we took forever to find our way back to a very crowded tube station- and ended up back at our lovely flat.

had another fab dinner of noodles, butter and parm before sitting down with some gossip girl!

think i am going to go to bed early tonight because it is the Chelsea v. Manchester football (soccer game) in Moscow tomorrow and its something big - like some championship and its the first time its been 2 teams from England? i think... who knows.

but we are going out to Chelsea tomorrow to watch the game at a local pub! (chelsea is quite close to us)

so- sorry today was very academic filled ... well i guess thats the reason im here --- right mom and dad ? ;)

and my family decided to come visit me- for which i am very excited.... they just need to give me some dates so i make sure im around ;)

xoxo

goodnight darlings.

p.s. just kidding mom and dad-- ill be here..... but really dates would be appreciated ! (and its also cheaper to book sooner rather than later !)
